In a recent commemoration of the 1916 Easter Rising in Co Tyrone, Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald underscored the urgency for a united Ireland, declaring it the 'end days of partition.' She urged for preparations of unity referendums this decade, emphasizing the need for constitutional changes. While some leaders like John Finucane recognize the challenge ahead, McDonald rebuked Taoiseach Micheál Martin's dismissal of immediate polls, pushing for a citizens' assembly to address the aspirations of all Irish communities towards reunification.
Now, we write the next chapter of our nation's story - the reunification of Ireland. This is a time of great change. We are living in the end days of partition as a new generation looks to the possibilities of unity with fresh hearts.
It's not good enough for Taoiseach Micheál Martin to stick his head in the sand and stand against the momentum for unity. The days of treading water are over. It's time to plan and prepare for constitutional change and for reunification.
To the Irish and the British governments, we say - the days of treading water are over. It's time to plan and prepare for constitutional change and for reunification.
Our message to unionists is clear - the united Ireland we seek belongs every bit as much to the families of Dungannon as it does to the families of Carrickmore, every bit as much to the families of Tyrone as the families of Dublin, Cork and Galway.
